Spiderman 4

[RsR]

* Old thread about spidey 4 movie is gone.

Update:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/04/22/robert-pattinson-as-morbius-spidey-comics-editor-makes-his-spider-man-4-picks/

Twilight fans will freak... if it ever happens; it never ends.

Will this movie be a win or fail?

[DarkBunny]

depends on which villain spidey fights

[redfable]

I wish Carnage or The Lizard would be in the movie if anyone of them are in there Epic win

[MMZ]

The Lizard should have already been in one. They should start from scratch though since the 3rd Spidey screwed over the series. Venom should be a solo villain and though the FX team did great with Venom's look in Spiderman-3... everything else about Venom was just messed up horribly. -_-

[RipVanRagnarok]

A Venom spin-off is already in the works. Agree with the Venom setup comment. Lizard will probably be in there since Dr. Connors was in the third one.

[redfable]

What about Carnage if vemon is there what about him???

[RipVanRagnarok]

David S. Goyer, the original writer, said Carnage would be the antagonist in the Venom spin-off, but Venom's rights were turned over to Sony. Now Avi Arad (Iron Man, Ghost Rider) is working on the film.

[airyie]

^considering how great those movies were, I'm sure Avi Arad will turn the spin off into something good and worthy. I'm not worried about the spin off. I'm worried about the 4th movie.

[Wras]

This movie will be made of fail, but it will also be made of win. Assuming the people who made the first 3 are doing it across the board (haven't read any articles), they will either assess how much SM3 failed and will work to improve or they will succumb to "sequel sickness" where movies progressively get worse.

But I also have hope, and I think we're really in need of another great superhero movie.

edit: Edward as Morbius? Stranger things have happened...

[m2mmus]

It's typical, based on how popular those damn Twilight movies are, if Morbius were put in the new movies they'd bring in the sparkly vampires to make more money.

The guy who played Lestat from Queen of the Damned...I'd prefer someone like that!

[RipVanRagnarok]

^Scott Speedman? He was in Underworld too.

[m2mmus]

Really? I haven't seen Underworld in a while so I forget!

[Wras]

It's not so much I mind. Robert Pattinson(sp) may or may not be a good bet, I haven't seen any of his acting; his playing Edward doesn't mean anything as far as skill. He MIGHT just be the best Morbius ever... a lot of the SM cast for the first 3 movies was misplaced anyway (which I'll get into over at the Spider-man FC conveniently found in my signature!)

[Rosh]

I hope its cranage, But then they have raise the rating it has to be 16+ so they dont ruin Carnage.

[blunt_smoker_420]

I would love to see carnage in it but if he is they have to bring back venom seeing as he was the one to make carnage. If they do it any other way I wouldn't like the movie too much. Fingers crossed though, hoping for a winner!

I didnt like venom from spiderman 3, I hope they change Topher grace

[Ash]

^Stuart Townsend? He was in Underworld too.

Wow no he wasn't, retard. Queen of the Damned and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I like how everyone in this thread is going on about the which bad guys when it says Morbius and every is ooooh I hope it's Carnage.
They only reason they say Pattinson is because he already played a vampire it's like when the guy who played Dumbledore died and everyone thought Ian Mckellen was going to take over because he was Gandolf.
You know what it doesn't matter who the bad guy is or who plays him as long as Tobey McGuire is Spiderman is going to blow. Spiderman has to be the worst super hero franchise they butcher him.

[RipVanRagnarok]

Wow no he wasn't, retard. Queen of the Damned and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.


Thanks a lot. Make one mistake and you're called a retard. Anyway, Scott Speedman was the hybrid in Underworld. He and Townsend do like alike. That's why I got them confused with their vampire roles.

[Wras]

I like The Vulture,” Wacker told MTV News. “The flying around would be cool, and if you cast Larry David in that role, I’ll watch forever — even if it’s just a beginning fight, with Spider-Man beating on Larry David with wings.”

LOL.

[blunt_smoker_420]

I wouldn't mind Morbius and maybe if we are lucky we will see spidey's other half...THE HUMAN SPIDER!

[RsR]

It's my fault; I posted that link. If I remember correctly you (Ash) suggested female villains/characters that might revive the franchise; correct me if i'm wrong but you said Catwoman would be a good addition. I wish that thread was still here.

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/richriel/Black_Cat_by_Ron_Adrian_by_richmbai.jpg

Is this movie worth making? I wonder why spidey can't get the same love as Batman simalar to last years Gotham Knight DVD.

[Wras]

correct me if i'm wrong but you said Catwoman would be a good addition.


http://www.theduogroup.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/spiderman_poster.jpg

I've seen more like that, I think.

[RipVanRagnarok]

^Isn't that Blackcat?

[Wras]

Yes. Black Cat >>>> Catwoman because it's Marvel. I was making a correction.

[RsR]

Yes. Black Cat >>>> Catwoman because it's Marvel. I was making a correction.

Thanks. It just shows how much I know about the topic. No wonder I was having a hard time looking for images. flunkee= person failing

[Wras]

It's not your fault. When something Marvel-related is compromised a small fanboy sensor goes off in my mind and I rush to the scene to rectify any and all mistakes and discrepancies. I must protect my beloved franchise.

On topic Black Cat would be awesome in SM 4 but, as Ash said, Tobey Maguire is a terrible, terrible (and fat) Spider-man.

[Ether101]

Haven't already stated that one of the villains that seemed to have died in three was going to be in four?

[RipVanRagnarok]

The black symbiote was destroyed so I don't think Venom is making a comeback. Carnage is likely going to be in it, if at all possible, because the red symbiote hasn't made an appearance at all.

[blunt_smoker_420]

But the black symbiote cant be destroyed because in the cartoon the red symbiote comes from it.

[Baby Naruto]

Is it really true that this movie will not be released to movie theaters in the U.S. until May 6, 2011?!

[RipVanRagnarok]

But the black symbiote cant be destroyed because in the cartoon the red symbiote comes from it.

They could change it around, which they always do, in the movie adaptation, to say that the symbiote asexually produced the red symbiote, but it wasn't shown or some other reason.

[blunt_smoker_420]

I guess they could but it be a disappointment. I wish they would just stay true to the original story.

[Korbenik]

True there are movies out there that have stuck to the original story and were a success but then again there are also movies that did the same thing and ended in an epic fail, but it all depends on the director,cast, and how thoroughly its been talked about.

@ Baby Naruto - I believe so but apparently theres is talk (don't have any real solid evidence) that maybe early 2011 Feb or March but until theres an article or blog that comes out with actual evidence of its Release date, we can guess sometime in 2011.

[blunt_smoker_420]

Very true, Is Tobey going to be in this one?

[Baby Naruto]

@Baby Naruto - I believe so but apparently theres is talk (don't have any real solid evidence) that maybe early 2011 Feb or March but until theres an article or blog that comes out with actual evidence of its Release date, we can guess sometime in 2011.

2011 is too far away though, I was hoping for a 2009 or 2010 release.

By the way, are you nx6 of Bleach Portal Forums/Club Bleach Forums?

[RsR]

I guess they could but it be a disappointment. I wish they would just stay true to the original story.

3 movies too late.

[blunt_smoker_420]

Lol true, the first one wasn't too far off though it had its differences but more similarities than the other 2.

[Ether101]

I guess they could but it be a disappointment. I wish they would just stay true to the original story.

Impossible.

1)Marvel Universe gets recanted on a major scale at lest once a year.

2)Most of the Marvel movies are an amalgam of 616 and Ultimate.

[He's a Mentalist]

I do not know about everyone else, but Spiderman 3 was horrible. I would love to see venom make an appearance because I like venom, as well as carnage. Vulture could make a subtle appearance I guess. But, the focus should be on venom as the main villain.

[RsR]

Yes many will attest to the horrible reviews the last movie recieved. What else did people expect; we butcher things that are beautiful so we as humans can appreciate it more. Okay im exaggerating here lol... My point in this post is to make a prediction that the next movie will be a major comeback. I honestly believe that Sam Raimi truly and fully understands the character now more than ever. He is human after all. (going up?) lol

P.S. I could really care less who the next villain is; for all I care it could be just regular thieves and no super villains. It is a Spiderman movie not a fcukn Lizard or Venom flick.

[Meta]

Carnage is gonna be included in of the movies to come,I've read it somewhere
I just can't remember in which one they speculated that he'll appear

[MMZ]

They could change it around, which they always do, in the movie adaptation, to say that the symbiote asexually produced the red symbiote, but it wasn't shown or some other reason.

Comic wise the red symbiote was asexually reproduced from the black, but even if they say if was just made off screen before they killed Venom there's still the problem of the Carnage fight. In the comics it took Spider-Man and Venom together (and more) to stop Carnage.

[blunt_smoker_420]

yea I remember that carnage was crazy but a great villain, can't wait to see what they do with him.

[xTHHxAimiForevr]

Impossible.

Damn! My boy does his homework!:d:

[RipVanRagnarok]

That's the Venom spin-off film that Avi Arad is making. Carnage is supposed to be the antagonist.

[blunt_smoker_420]

Venom spin off film, when is this due for release?

[kiwigrl89]

Meh, I think they should just quit it. That last Spiderman was....different, to put it nicely.

[blunt_smoker_420]

Meh, I think they should just quit it. That last Spiderman was....different, to put it nicely.

I agree it was different but besides the long dialog scenes I liked the movie even though not many other people did.

[RsR]

Two writers has been mentioned for this movie. Who would you guys prefer to write a screenplay this movie?
History:
Spiderman - David Koep

[666]

Spiderman 3 was horrible. Seriously they need to revamp the franchise like the Batman films did.

The black symbiote was destroyed so I don't think Venom is making a comeback. Carnage is likely going to be in it, if at all possible, because the red symbiote hasn't made an appearance at all.

There is still that little piece of the symbiote in Conner's lab.

[RipVanRagnarok]

^^So the red strain can be made from it.

[666]

Meh, probably. I still say they need to revamp.

[Baby Naruto]

Spiderman 3 was horrible. Seriously they need to revamp the franchise like the Batman films did.

Spider-man is Marvel whereas Batman is DC though.

[Andrethegiant]

If Carnage is the main villian of the Venom spin-off, they need to make it a R flick. Anything less would be cheesy.

I'm hoping Sinister Six will be introduced at some point.

[RipVanRagnarok]

Spider-man is Marvel whereas Batman is DC though.

That's because Batman Begins takes material from the source: i.e. the graphic novels Batman: The Long Halloween, Year One, etc.

[skipshark]

I was thinking about this, and since Marvel Studios has become a major player and has gotten more power with regards to what goes on, they have been deciding to do crossover films with continuity regarding the cast. This, of course, has never been done before. However, if the primary villain in the venom movie is carnage, which I feel it probably will be, then yes, spiderman - as played by tobey - will most likely play a role in the film. As for other characters in spiderman 4, realistically we're looking at possibly the Lizard, Kraven, and/or Morbius. Those are your characters most likely to be in it. Anyone else is most likely to play a small role, unless the sinister six comes along.... I would personally put my money on Lizard, as the next available friend/mentor/confidant of Parker's to go wrong is Connors. And I don't think it would be Carnage, because that would screw over potential box office bucks to be raked in by the Venom spin-off. I mean really, who in a Venom film could draw more crowds than Carnage and Spidey...

[666]

Spider-man is Marvel whereas Batman is DC though.

I know that. I was just saying that they really need to revamp like DC did because Spider-man 3 was almost as terrible as Batman & Robin.

[Oxyuranus]

Carange is more Venom antagonist then he is spidermans. It wouldnt make sense to give him the roll of main villian, especialy after the horrendous job they did with venom who many including myself consider to be spiderman's greatest nemisis. The 3rd movie made me cry, almost litteraly. I grew up with spidey and loved venom as my all time fav marvel character but the BS, tiny venom they made, combind with the lack of proper dialog (venom always adressed himself as we and sounded like a monster...well, atleast he did in the cartoon and video games which is what I always pictured) and that fag from that 70s show playingEddie Brock was a crime aginst marvel. That Stan Lee allowed this abomination to go forth makes me hate him. Yes, I really couldnt stand that movie at all.

At any rate, I dont really give a damn about which villian they get to star because I probaly wont even watch the damn thing in the theaters. Toby as peter parker is also getting old as hell. I think he played it well in the first movie and ok in the second but its been going down hill for me for awhile.

My only wish is that they keep the Ironman series going well because they have fucked up everything else. Spiderman now sucks, the Xman series ended horribly and I havent seen Wolverine yet but atleast heard it was decent. Oh and lets not forget the hulk. Epic fail all around.

Sorry for the digress but as you can see, Im not too happy with the marvel movies as of late. Thank god DC is doing a decent job.

[666]

Oh and lets not forget the hulk. Epic fail all around.

03 or 08 film?

[Baby Naruto]

Any updates at all on this movie?

That's because Batman Begins takes material from the source: i.e. the graphic novels Batman: The Long Halloween, Year One, etc.

I did not know that, thanks :)!

I know that. I was just saying that they really need to revamp like DC did because Spider-man 3 was almost as terrible as Batman & Robin.

Oh ok lol.

a poll was conducted and it seems like the lizard is a logical favorite for top villain appearance.

seems like the original cast is making a comeback. im sure continuity wont hurt the series... lol

[xdentrigger]

03 or 08 film?

I thought the latter was decent. Hulk looked great.

[[-Shirion-]]

The Lizard and Kraven the Hunter need to be the villains in Spider-Man 4. Wait until they reboot the series, or have another hit until they even try to attempt another use of Venom or introducing Carnage.

Fuck the original cast. Tobey needs to stop gaining 20 pounds between movies and Kirsten... well she was alright in the first one but in the third her character became such a bitch.

As for the lizard, it does make sense considering Dr. Connors has been in all three movies walking around with his arm inside his shirt.

[RsR]

Anne Hathaway possible Black Cat...reelzchannel (http://www.reelzchannel.com//movie-news/5095/julia-stiles-and-anne-hathaway-the-newest-spider-man-4-casting-rumors)

casting for Black Cat and a male villain is in works not to include Dr. Connors...

Spidey Rebooted

US, January 11, 2010 - Damn, Sam Raimi, you've made us proud. As much as we're sorry to see you go, we respect the fact that you've stuck to your guns and told Sony to stick their webs where the sun don't shine.

That's right, folks. Sam Raimi has left the Spider-Man franchise, which essentially means that Spider-Man 4 is no more and the wallcrawler is now getting a from-scratch reboot from the studio instead. Tobey Maguire is also done with the red and blue suit, and in fact Sony is saying (via Twitter) that the reboot will go back to high school with the character and be released in 2012.

Deadline Hollywood's Nikki Finke had the story first, saying that "Mike Fleming and I have just confirmed that Sony Pictures decided today to reboot the Spider-Man franchise after franchise director Sam Raimi pulled out of Spider-Man 4 because he felt he couldn't make its summer release date and keep the film's creative integrity. This means that Raimi and the cast including star Tobey Maguire are out. There will be no Spider-Man 4. Instead, Mike Fleming is told, the studio will focus on a reboot script by Jamie Vanderbilt with a new director and a new cast. All this took place ... at [a] meeting on the lot today."

DH goes on to say that Raimi insisted he couldn't make Sony's date or "go forward creatively. And, so, once he said 'That's it,' Sony Pictures co-chairman [Amy] Pascal and Columbia Pictures' Matt Tolmach decided they didn't want to replace him and instead chose to reboot the franchise." Points to Sony for making the smart choice here.

We've got a call in to Sony right now and we'll update here as soon as we hear back from them! But, dang, this is a big one.


UPDATED: Here is Sony's official statement on the reboot: "Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012. Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager dealing with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises. The new chapter in the Spider-Man franchise produced by Columbia, Marvel Studios and Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin, will have a new cast and filmmaking team. Spider-Man 4 was to have been released in 2011, but had not yet gone into production.

"A decade ago we set out on this journey with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire and together we made three Spider-Man films that set a new bar for the genre. When we began, no one ever imagined that we would make history at the box-office and now we have a rare opportunity to make history once again with this franchise. Peter Parker as an ordinary young adult grappling with extraordinary powers has always been the foundation that has made this character so timeless and compelling for generations of fans. We're very excited about the creative possibilities that come from returning to Peter's roots and we look forward to working once again with Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin on this new beginning," said Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

"Working on the Spider-Man movies was the experience of a lifetime for me. While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job," said Sam Raimi.

"We have had a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration and friendship with Sam and Tobey and they have given us their best for the better part of the last decade.This is a bittersweet moment for us because while it is hard to imagine Spider-Man in anyone else's hands, I know that this was a day that was inevitable," said Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, who has served as the studio's chief production executive since the beginning of the franchise. "Now everything begins anew, and that's got us all tremendously excited about what comes next. Under the continuing supervision of Avi and Laura, we have a clear vision for the future of Spider-Man and can't wait to share this exciting new direction with audiences in 2012."

"Spider-Man will always be an important franchise for Sony Pictures and a fresh start like this is a responsibility that we all take very seriously," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures. "We have always believed that story comes first and story guides the direction of these films. As we move onto the next chapter, we will stay true to that principle and will do so with the highest respect for the source material and the fans and moviegoers who deserve nothing but the best when it comes to bringing these stories and characters to life on the big screen."

The studio will have more news about Spider-Man in 2012 in the coming weeks as it prepares for production of the film.

ign.com

tl;dr? Spiderman 4 ain't happening.

Spiderman should have ended after the failure that was Spiderman 3. Now they're looking to start things over from scratch? Meh.

[dyne]

yea cant be any worse and maybe this time they will get peter parker right by making him a genius who isnt a nerd or loser but a player and racist lol

[Paragon]

I'd settle for just a witty and funny Spiderman this time around. Tobey Maguire had about as much wit as a brick whilst acting out as Peter Parker. Better yet they should just scrap the whole Spiderman movies and make a Deadpool movie instead, after what happened to Deadpool in Wolverine: Origins somebody needs to step in and make amend!

Actually they are. It's supposed to be a spin-off, yet unrelated to X-men Origins: Wolverine. I dunno how you make an unrelated spinoff, but that's what's been said.

[Hisagi_Chan]

Ugh please no. I love the first spidey movie but please someone stop them making all these sequels. It's completely ruining the spidey love. Even as i type this however i know that i will go and see it. Seriously though the sequels are getting worse, the spin offs are massacring (sp?) characters (Gambit you poor thing) and it's just completely putting me off super hero flicks. They need to go back to their roots and stop torturing us!

[Paragon]

They've milked the cow beyond skin and bones. Time to let it just die peacefully, especially with whole idea of bringing it back to the beginning.

I agree with you completely....for once LOL Deadpool is the shit and his mouth makes him! By far the most entertaining, comedic character in Marvel history, tied with spiddy. I really hope they do it right.

As for spidey, if they are scratching the OG cast and starting over then I couldnt be happier! I Agree, Toby was a joke as Peter Parker. Everytime he tried to be sarcastic is made my my pimp slap hand tingle. We need a good, smart jackass to fullfill the roll. The only part Tobey did right was by being small and weak looking in comparison to other super heros which is what spiddy should be. Unfortunately a small stature dosent make up for lack of acting ability....>.>

I hope they pull it off and remake the series like DC did with batman.

[JayR]

I really don't like the idea of another Spiderman, i liked the first one, second one was meh and the third one sucked.
Resetting the story after such a short time seems weird for the movie business too.

[Hisagi_Chan]

I totally agree but hey let's face it, it makes them money and that means they'll keep going, even if they have to redo EVERYTHING.

[Zero-sama]

People the Spiderman franchised is dead. Seriously can Jake Gyllenhaal take up the mantle of Spidey? I don't think so. BTW he is been consider for the role, before Tobey and now after Tobey. This is a dead franchised, period. Now come Deadpool let's hope Ryan Reynolds does a great job and the film crew don't fuck the film up like someone else did in Elektra and Daredevil.

[IchiRuki08]

Wtf there just starting over? ugh I guess they figured its been long enough between Spiderman 1 and now so its ok to start over? While that may be ok in there minds... We have FX on cable.. they've been showing Spiderman 1 2 and 3 every other weekend..lol

So if they think it wont be fresh in our minds they have another thing coming. But fuck it change the whole cast... start the fuck over... milk whats been milked and if it gets enough hype we'll see it again. Hell it worked for Batman. Which is probley how the meeting ended when everyone face palmed ...

Studio Head: HEY! IT WORKED FOR BATMAN!

Everyone: oh thats true... *mumble mumble*

Studio Head: So... do we have a new name for Spiderman... Batman had the "Dark Knight" Which was GOLD!

Everyone: a............ your friendly neighborhood spider?

Studio Head: BAH! THATS Silver! I WANT GOLD!

Everyone: The Web Crawler

Studio Head: OH! THATS EDGY! AND DARK! LIKE TWILIGHT! YES!

*Someone jumps off the building*

Studio Head: Lets go with that... Spiderman..... The Reboot...of the Web crawler

Everyone: UGH

[CakeSpoon]

Meh, they rebooted Hulk to great success.

It can be done, if they get the right people.

[Hisagi_Chan]

Yeah i admit the second Hulk was better than the first but i think they went too far with Spidey. It's debatable if it is saveable.

[Revenge]

Spider man 4, didn't see that coming

[Wras]

Topher Grace would have been a great Peter Parker/Spider-man, ironically enough..

[Hisagi_Chan]

Topher Grace would have been a great Peter Parker/Spider-man, ironically enough..

Uh who? Forgive my ignorance

[CakeSpoon]

The dude who was Venom. From "that 70's show".

[Wras]

Yeah I think he could have upped his nerdy game from That 70s show and done the cocky badass parts of Spider-man really well, and he didn't get fat like Tobey.

I am a mega fanboy of Spider-man; I'll see 4, and 5, and 6 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1493203/). But I probably won't enjoy them.

[CakeSpoon]

If it's made by the same dude Bruce Campbell will probably be Spider-man. lol.

[Zero-sama]

Hulk can be rebooted as many times because the plot is not that difficult and the film crew can be replaceable. But Spiderman is a different story and franchise, is more sophisticated. Sam Raimi did an outstanding job in the first two films, the 3rd one sucked. Mark my words, what we saw of Spidey in films will not get any better than that.

[ismey]

ughh......it going to fail......spiderman 1 and 2 were good and 3 was average/poor apparently the directors interfered with raimi's script and movie and will probably do so again .......so now we will have something that ended up like batman in the 90's although batman franchise redeemed itself with chris nolan and co.

[Hisagi_Chan]

A NEW WEBB FOR SPIDER-MAN™
Marc Webb Chosen To Direct Next Chapter of the Acclaimed Series
-Spider-Man to Climb into Theaters in Summer, 2012 -


CULVER CITY, Calif., January 19, 2010 – Marc Webb, the director of the Golden Globe nominated Best Picture (500) Days of Summer, will direct the next chapter in the Spider-Man franchise, set to hit theaters summer 2012, it was jointly announced today by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios.

Written by James Vanderbilt, Webb will work closely with producers Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin in developing the project, which will begin production later this year.

Commenting on the announcement, Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, said, "At its core, Spider-Man is a small, intimate human story about an everyday teenager that takes place in an epic super-human world. The key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker's life. We wanted someone who could capture the awe of being in Peter's shoes so the audience could experience his sense of discovery while giving real heart to the emotion, anxiety, and recklessness of that age and coupling all of that with the adrenaline of Spider-Man's adventure. We believe Marc Webb is the perfect choice to bring us on that journey."

Arad and Ziskin added jointly, "Over the years, the Spider-Man comics have been told with bold and creative new writers and artists who have re-calibrated the way audiences see Peter Parker. Marc Webb will do for the new direction of the films what so many visionary storytellers have done with the comic books. He is an incredibly talented filmmaker and we look forward to working closely with him on this new adventure."

Webb said, "This is a dream come true and I couldn't be more aware of the challenge, responsibility, or opportunity. Sam Raimi's virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to 'take over' from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I'm here because there's an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man."

Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, added, "I'm excited that Sony has chosen a director with a real penchant and understanding for the character. This is a brave, bold direction for the franchise, and I can't wait to see what Marc comes up with next."

Added Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, "The idea of re-imagining the on-screen story for one of the world's most iconic superheros is sure to deliver an exciting new dimension to Spider-Man fans everywhere. There are volumes of comics and material available to inspire fresh and compelling takes on Peter Parker and his journey as Spidey and we look forward to seeing this come alive onscreen."

MARC WEBB has won acclaim with his film debut (500) Days of Summer. He has several MTV VMAs™ including 2009's Best Director award for Green Day's "21 Guns," 2006 Best Rock Video for AFI's "Miss Murder," and Best Group Video for The All-American Rejects' "Move Along." The Music Video Production Association honored him in 2006 as the Director of the Year for his work with Weezer, AAR, and My Chemical Romance.

In addition to two Golden Globe nominations including Best Picture (musical or comedy), his first feature film, (500) Days of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, has been nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Feature. Webb was also awarded the Spotlight Award, which honors outstanding directorial debuts, by the National Board of Review

If they want a reboot they should at least wait five years that gives enough time for people to forget spiderman 3.......
